Hirose has developed a rugged flexible printed circuit (FPC) / flat flexible connector (FFC) that offers high-heat resistance for harsh environment applications. With an operating temperature of up to 105ºC, the FH63 Series satisfies severe heat requirements found in automotive applications. The FH63 Series is currently available in a 30 and 40-position versions and accepts shielded FFC for EMI prevention. Additional circuit sizes will becom...

Home Power Solutions will be presenting Picea, what the company claims to be the world's first all-in-one unit to supply year-round power from the consumer's own photovoltaic system, at trade fairs in March and April.

Imagine if carbon dioxide (CO2) could easily be converted into usable energy. Every time you breathe or drive a motor vehicle, you would produce a key ingredient for generating fuels. Like photosynthesis in plants, we could turn CO2 into molecules that are essential for day-to-day life. Now, scientists are one step closer.

Long ago, about 400,000 years after the beginning of the universe —the Big Bang — the universe was dark. There were no stars or galaxies, and the universe was filled primarily with neutral hydrogen gas.Then, for the next 50 million-100 million years, gravity slowly pulled the densest regions of gas together until they collapsed in some places to form the first stars.

A Sandia National Laboratories team has designed and synthesised nanoparticles that glow red and are stable, useful properties for tracking cancer growth and spread. This work is the first time the intrinsic luminescence of metal-organic framework materials, or MOFs, for long-term bioimaging has been reported, materials chemist Dorina Sava Gallis said. Fluorescently-tagging tumours, or other specific kinds of cells, is a new, powerful method to i...

Commuters could soon be taken to work in a driverless car which is so clean they could relax on the journey with a cup of tea - brewed using water from the tailpipe. The Hyundai Nexo is a crossover SUV vehicle which runs on electrical energy generated by hydrogen fuel cells. Unlike traditional combustion engines, hydrogen cars don’t emit carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide so its only by-product is water vapour. Author: Adrian Hearn

Launched byLloyd’s Register (LR), theTechnology Radar 2018 'Renewable Energy' reportanalyses the sizeable renewable energy impacts in the next five years and beyond. It provides answers from industry experts on their optimism, concerns and investment outlook on tomorrow’s energy mix.

Engineers at the University of Maryland have found a way to make wood more than ten times times stronger and tougher than before, creating a natural substance that is stronger than many titanium alloys.UMD professors Liangbing Hu and Teng Li each holding a block of wood“This new way to treat wood makes it twelve times stronger than natural wood and ten times tougher,” said Liangbing Hu, the leader of the team that did the research, pu...

The significant increase in reliability of bearings is permitted through the use of application-specific bearing steels and surface treatments, which in turn contributes to the reduction of machinery and equipment TCO (total cost of ownership).For high-performance bearings, the selection and optimisation of (steel) materials plays a central role in their development. For this reason, materials engineering is one of four core research and developm...

An international team of researchers lead by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered a reaction path that produces exotic layers with semiregular structures. These kinds of materials are interesting because they frequently possess extraordinary properties. In the process, simple organic molecules are converted to larger units which form the complex, semiregular patterns.
